The sun goes down too early
The wind goes down my back just like it owns me I work my job I get my check I'm tryin' not to let myself get lonely I'm just dreamin' about the day that I can Show you all the love I've got for you I used to hear my heart cry out I used to feel it pound in me I used to think It'd break me right in two Now that seems so long ago I'm feelin' like there's nothin' I can't do I'm just dreamin' about the day when I can Show you all the love I've got for you Sometimes I can see your face Taste your lovin' in my mouth Baby I am comin' back for more Can't you feel me comin' Can't you see me comin' Can't you hear me knockin' on your door? I'm just dreamin' about the day when I can Show you all the love I've got for you I've got so much love for you |

I look at him and he looks at me
In his eyes I see the sea Don't see what he sees in a girl like me He says he loves me His eyes, his eyes His eyes are a blue million miles His eyes, his eyes His eyes are a blue million miles Far as I can see he loves me His eyes, his eyes His eyes are a blue million miles |

Why does it take so long for you to leave me
Once you've said goodbye I wish it could be over quickly Clean and painless and dry But your kiss has left its taste with me And your hands have left their mark My ears are full of whispers And murmurs in the dark Why does it take so long for you to leave me Now that you're not here I wish that I could fight this feelin' Make you disappear But my body has a memory And it holds you close within The smell of you at midnight The flavor of your skin CHORUS I feel your fingerprints On my heart I thought that I could handle you I thought I was so smart Now I feel your fingerprints Nothin' I can do Ain't it touching how I can't get over you I can't believe I can't forget you You didn't matter that much Is it gonna take another man To wash away your touch REPEAT CHORUS |

August in the city 90 degrees
The streets are full of arms and legs The audience is hangin' on the corner Just waitin' for some bones to beg The sniper and the moving target I can't talk talk talk until my face turn blue Hey girl, you, girl put that right here This what I'll do to you But I live, I live, I live on this street The dogs are speakin' the men are howlin' When we take our parts out for a walk I could say, I should say, I would say Does your mama know about the way you talk Somewhere in Egypt I'm worth 4 camels A strong healthy girl like me On 42nd Street it's a quarter to look But the women outside are free But I live, I live, I love on this street He's the ruler of the pavement He owns all that he can see On 42nd Street it's a quarter to look But the women outside are free I live, I live, I love on this street REPEAT THREE TIMES |

Billy-Ray was a Preacher's son
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along When they gathered round and started talking Cousin Billy would take me walking Through the back yard we'd go walking Then he'd look into my eyes Lord knows to my suprise Chorus: The only boy who could ever reach me Was the son of a preacher man The only boy who could ever teach me Was the son of a preacher man He was, yes he was, oh yes he was Being good isn't always easy No matter how hard I tried When he started sweet talking to me He'd come and tell me everything is alright He'd kiss and tell me everything is alright Can I get away again tonight Chorus How well I remember The look that was in his eyes Stealing kisses from me on the sly Taking time to make time Telling me that he's all mine Learning from each others knowing Looking to see how much we'd grown The only boy who could ever move me Was the son of a preacher man The only boy who could ever groom me Was the son of a preacher man He was, yes he was, oh yes he was |

He said, 'Do me a favor, son, woncha stay an' keep Anna Lee company?' Chorus Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog He said, 'I will fix your rack, if you'll take Jack, my dog' I said, 'Wait a minute, Chester, you know I'm a peaceful man' He said, 'That's okay, boy, won't you feed him when you can' Chorus Catch a cannon ball now, t'take me down the line My bag is sinkin' low and I do believe it's time To get back to Miss Fanny, you know she's the only one Who sent me here with her regards for everyone |

Oh did you know That the river burns like gasoline And they can't turn on the rain machine And they tell me there is no more space Won't you turn around 'Cause I hate it when I cannot see your face In this wild, wild world In this wild, wild world Wild, wild world By the river |

August in the city 90 degrees
The streets are full of arms and legs The audience is hangin' on the corner Just waitin' for some bones to beg The sniper and the moving target I can't talk talk talk until my face turn blue Hey girl, you, girl put that right here This what I'll do to you But I live, I live, I live on this street The dogs are speakin' the men are howlin' When we take our parts out for a walk I could say, I should say, I would say Does your mama know about the way you talk Somewhere in egypt I'm worth 4 camels A strong healthy girl like me On 42nd street it's a quarter to look But the women outside are free But I live, I live, I love on this street He's the ruler of the pavement He owns all that he can see On 42nd street it's a quarter to look But the women outside are free I live, I live, I love on this street Repeat three times |

Lady Madonna,
Children at your feet Wonder how you manage to make ends meet. Who find the money When you pay the rent? Did you think that money was Heaven sent? Friday night arrives without a suitcase. Sunday morning creeping like a nun. Monday's child has learned to tie his bootlace. See how they run. Lady Madonna, Baby at your breast Wonders how you manage to feed the rest. See how they run. Lady Madonna, Lying on the bed. Listen to the music playing in your head. Tuesday afternoon is neverending. Wednesday morning papers didn't come. Thursday night your stockings needed mending. See how they run. Lady Madonna, Children at your feet Wonder how you manage to make ends meet |

I look at him and he looks at me
In his eyes I see the sea Don't see what he sees in a girl like me He says he loves me His eyes, his eyes His eyes are a blue million miles His eyes, his eyes His eyes are a blue million miles Far as I can see he loves me His eyes, his eyes His eyes are a blue million miles |

Comin' out of the window
Watchin' down from the wall Billie listens to your heartbeat Floatin' down the hall You think my eyes are covered over You think my heart has crawled away Billie listens to your heartbeat When I don't know what to say I meant to be your drivin' wheel I meant to be your swing If I had a tongue like that I would keep you safe I would keep you safe from everything I made a deal with the ocean I made a deal with the ground Billie listins to your heartbeat When I'm not around When I'm not around |

Lookin' down at Dallas, shining in the heat Honey when you move it's graceful as a panther Open up your lips and my heart skips a beat You suffer so pretty like a ragged apostle You burn oh so brightly like a soldering gun And I gave my body and soul to relieve you But now you have told me that I'm not the one And if I'm not the one Baby baby if I'm not the one Ohhh who's gonna dive down to the floor of the ocean Who's gonna save you from being alone Who's gonna hold you when you cry in the nighttime Who's gonna carry your heart Your heart of stone I believed my love Could take away your darkness Was strong enough to fight all the demons in your dreams Little did I know the weight would pull me under Now I watch us both come apart at the seams And if I'm not the one Ohhh baby baby if I'm not the one Ohhh who's gonna dive down to the floor of the ocean Who's gonna save you from being alone Who's gonna hold you when you cry in the nighttime Who's gonna carry your heart Your heart of stone Your heart of stone Ohhh who's gonna dive down to the floor of the ocean Who's gonna save you from being alone Who's gonna hold you when you cry in the nighttime Who's gonna carry your heart Your heart of stone Your heart of stone |

As I walk this land of broken dreams
I have visions of many things But happiness is just an illusion Filled with sadness and confusion What becomes of the broken-hearted Who had love that's now departed I know I've got to find Some kind of peace of mind Maybe The fruits of love grow all around But for me they come a tumblin' down Everyday heartaches grow a little stronger I can't stand this pain much longer I walk in shadows, searching for light Cold and alone, no comfort in sight Hoping and prayin' for someone to care Always movin' and goin' nowhere What becomes of the broken-hearted Who had love that's now departed I know I've got to find Some kind of peace of mind Help me, please I'm searching though I don't succeed For someone's love there's a growing need All is lost, there's no place for beginning All that's left is an unhappy ending Now what becomes of the broken-hearted Who had love that's now departed Now what becomes of the broken-hearted Who had love that's now departed Now what becomes of the broken-hearted Tell me what becomes of the broken-hearted Tell me, tell me what becomes of the broken-hearted Tell me, tell me, tell me Oooh... The broken-hearted Now departed I know I've got to find Some kind of peace of mind I'll be searching everywhere Just to find someone who cares What becomes of the broken-hearted Now What becomes of the broken-hearted Who had love that's now departed |

There's a soft cotton dress on the line hangin' dry Window's wide open African trees Bent over backwards in a hurricane breeze Not a word, a goodbye, not even a note She's gone with the man in the long black coat Somebody seem him hangin' around At the old dance hall on the outskirts of town He looked into her eyes when she stopped him to ask If he wanted to dance he had a face like a mask Somebody said, from the Bible he quote There was dust on the man in the long black coat Preacher was talkin' there's a sermon he gave He said every man's conscience is vile and depraved You cannot depend on it to be your guide When it's you who must keep it satisfied It ain't easy to swallow, it sticks in the throat She give her heart to the man in the long black coat One, two... There are no mistakes in life some people say It's true sometimes you can see it that way People don't live or die, people just float She give her heart to the man in the long black coat There's smoke on the water, it's been there since June Tree trunks uprooted in the high crescent moon Hear the pulse and vibrations and the rumblin' force Somebody's out there beating on a dead horse She never said nothin', there was nothin' she wrote She's gone with the man in the long black coat |

In a trailer in the sand The man from the picture Creased and yellowed in my hand Creased and yellowed in my hand He was squinting and stubbled And standing in the door He said, if you've come to take the car away I don't have it anymore I don't have it anymore He got the gospel on the radio And the gospel on tv He got all of the transcripts Back to 1963 Back to 1963 He said I sold my blood for money There wasn't any pain But I just can't stand the feeling It's in someone else's veins It's in someone else's veins Momma took me aside And she tried to change my mind She said, don't waste your time in looking There's nothing, nothing left to find Nothing, nothing left to find So I left him down in Pensacola In a trailer in the sand The man from the picture Creased and yellowed in my hand Creased and yellowed in my hand |

I dreamed about Ray Charles last night
And he could see just fine Dreamed about Ray Charles last night And he could see just fine, you know I asked him for a lullaby He said, "Honey, I don't sing no more" No more, no more, no more Ray don't sing no more He said, "Since I got my eyesight back, my voice has just deserted me. No 'Georgia On My Mind' no more... I stay in bed with MTV." Then Ray took his glasses off And I could look inside his head Flashing like a thunderstorm I saw a shining spider web Spider web (repeat 3x) In Ray Charles' head I dreamed about Ray Charles last night He took me flying in the air Showed my own spider webs Said, "Honey, you had best take care. The world is made of spider webs The threads are stuck to me and you Be careful what you're wishing for 'Cause when you gain you just might lose" You just might lose your... Spider web (repeat 3x) What Ray Charles said When you're feelin' lonely When you're hidin' in your bed Don't forget your string of pearls Don't forget your spider web When I go to sleep tonight Don't let me dream of brother Ray No, no, no, don't... Don't get me wrong, I'm glad he sees Just like him best the other way Spider web (repeat 3x) What Ray Charles said... In Ray Charles head All I got's my spider web Keepin' me alive C'mon Ray |

And your hands are really shakin' somethin' awful
As you light your twenty-seventh cigarette Oh, how long have you been sittin' in the darkness You forget... Oh, you know you're gettin' really hard to be with And you're cryin' every time you turn around And you wonder why you cannot pick your head up Off the ground... Oh, my crazy baby Try to hold on tight Oh, my crazy baby Don't put out the light... The light, the light, the light And they look at you like they don't speak your language And you're living at the bottom of a well And you've swallowed all the awful bloody secrets But you can't tell... Oh, you know you ought to get yourself together But you cannot bear to walk outside your door No, you cannot bear to look into the mirror Anymore... Oh, my crazy baby Try to hold on tight Oh, my crazy baby Don't put out the light... The light, the light, the light And your hands are really shakin' somethin' awful As your worries climb around inside your clothes Oh, how long will you be sittin' in the darkness Heaven knows... Oh, my crazy baby Try to hold on tight Oh, my crazy baby Don't put out the light... The light, the light, the light The light... |

Lumina
Come and wrap around me Lumina Take me through the snow Eve took a train, Eve took a train Went to see her man Melting inside, melting away Like butter in the pan Lumina Come and wrap around me Lumina Take me through the snow Eve took a fruit, Eve picked a fruit Juice ran down her chin Babies will put things in their mouths Never heard of sin Lumina Open like the sea Lumina Sing me in the dark Eve had to ask, Eve had to ask What is wrong with this Here is the place, now is the time Let's invent the kiss Lumina Come and wrap around me Lumina Come and wrap around me... |

Think I'm getting over him
The sap is risin' in the tree The blood is runnin' in my heart Brings desire back to me I wonder who will the next fool be There is a Spanish boy who also rides the A train I want to tag him like a tiger So I can track him as he moves around the city So I can guard him like an angel I wonder who will the next fool be I wonder who will the next fool be I got no more tears to cry I can see it in the sky In a bedroom by and by I know it's comin' (oh yeah, ooh ooh) I wonder who will the next fool be I wonder who will the next fool be I go out to the bars where the hearts are full of scars And I lay mine out in the neon light It's ragged and it's worn but it's about to be reborn Honey, are you gonna take me home tonight? When I meet each man I know I look him deeply in the eye Will it be a sweet old friend Or a pretty little stranger passin' by? I wonder who will the next fool be I wonder who will the next fool be I wonder who will the next fool be I wonder who will the next fool be ? will the next fool be I wonder who will the next fool be |

Fare you well, my honey, fare you well my only true one.
All the birds that were singing are flown, except you alone. Going to leave this brokedown palace, On my hand and knees, I will roll, roll, roll. Make myself a bed in the waterside, In my time, I will roll, roll roll. Make myself a bed by the waterside I will lay my head. Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul. River going to take me, sing sweet and sleepy, Sing me sweet and sleepy all the way back home. Its a far gone lullaby, sung many years ago. Mama, mama many worlds I've come since I first left home. Goin home, goin home, by the riverside I will rest my bones, Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul. Going to plant a weeping willow, On the banks green edge it will grow, grow, grow. Sing a lullaby beside the water, Lovers come and go, the river roll, roll, roll. Fare you well, fare you well, I love you more than words can tell, Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul. |

I get into my car
Turn the radio on Drive by your house, your window, your bed Since we've been over and done Ah, but your voice is still ringin' in my head Who divided up the days into hours The hours into minutes How could they really be that smart? Who divided up the minutes into seconds? They must've had a broken heart Must've had a broken heart I saw you way up town Another girl by your side I knew by your smile she was more than just a friend I'm gonna bury my head in the comfort so deeper Knowin' I'll never feel your arms again Who divided up the days into hours The hours into minutes How could they really be that smart? Who divided up the minutes into seconds? They must've had a broken heart Must've had a broken heart It's when love is over you're gonna learn about time You're gonna fight and scheme You're gonna weep and moan You're gonna wonder why, why, why, why It's 3 AM says the clock on the wall Here is the dark of the night the world stands still I'm reaching for the phone, that old number to call Oh, but I know I can't stand to feel that chill Who divided up the days into hours The hours into minutes How could they really be that smart? Who divided up the minutes into seconds? They must've had a broken heart Must've had a broken heart Who divided up the days into hours The hours into minutes How could they really be that smart? Who divided up the minutes into seconds? They must've had a broken heart Must've had a broken heart Who divided up the days into hours The hours into minutes How could they really be that smart? Who divided up the minutes into seconds? They must've had a broken heart Must've had a broken heart Oh, they must've had a broken heart They must have, must have, must have had a broken heart |

On a pitch black highway lookin' for a road
Sleepin' on a stormy bed, honey, who will be your coat Came to be my drivin' wheel, you came to be my man Now you're rollin' like a baby boy in the backseat of a van Holy waters, holy way Holy waters, sweetest way Mississippi and Missouri Where the sun swims with the moon Rainbows run through chapel rooms Pourin' honey by the spoon In came to bring you watermelon Bring you scented wine Now I'm burning up in hot breath And the rivers rollin' out of time Holy waters, holy way Holy waters, sweetest way I listen to a seashell out on a purple shore I heard a song so wild and sweet it moved me to the core So while the road is dancin' you let your love know how Move it like the ocean and the waves from here tonight Holy waters, holy way Holy waters, sweetest way Holy waters, holy way Holy waters, sweetest way Holy waters, holy way Holy waters, sweetest way Holy waters, holy way Holy waters, sweetest way |

All the ladies on the lake they start to dance
It's been a long time don't you wish you had the chance What do you wish you were? Do you wish you were the silence of the moon? Nobody knows but maybe you will be soon I used to think that the sidewalk was the way Always waiting for my lucky day Over and over, every patch of gray One day inside me I was lucky anyway What do you wish you were? Do you wish you were the light of every star? Nobody knows but maybe that's just what you are All night, count all the singing stars All right is where you want to know you are What do you wish you were? Do you wish you were the light of every star? Nobody knows but maybe that's just what you are Nobody knows but maybe that's just what you are |

This may be our last good night together
We may never pass this way again. Just let me enjoy it 'til it's over, or forever Please don't tell me how the story ends. See the way our shadows come together Softer than your fingers on my skin Someday these may be all we remember of each other Please don't tell me how the story ends. Never's just the echo of forever Lonesome as a love that might have been. Let me go on lovin' and believin' 'til it's over Please don't tell me how the story ends. |

I can't believe that after all this time
You keep slipping back across my mind Did we maybe leave the love behind afraid of what we felt Other loves I've had have come and gone I don't know why, they just don't last too long There are questions that go on and go That time won't tell Time won't tell me how it might have been And time won't make what's wrong alright It can only take me back again And re-run those memories in black and white I watch us kiss good-bye that day Here's where you turn around and walk away Where were the words that would have made you stay Well, time won't tell Time won't tell me how it might have been And time won't make what's wrong alright It can only take me back again And re-run those memories in black and white You never see the road you didn't take You never feel the love you failed to make But you never know might be the words to say And time won't tell Time won't tell |

Do you think about the days when we were in love
When a whispered word could send us both to heaven Now I press a kiss but I know it doesn't move you It's time for me to let it go Dead letters with words that are no longer true Dead silence where your promise used to be You don't love me anymore but I'd rather be with you Dead roses are still beautiful to me Well, I still hang around put money in the jukebox Play those songs, let them ring the tears from me Friends all shake their heads and tell me to go on home But that's where all those memories will be Dead letters with words that are no longer true Dead silence where your promise used to be You don't want me anymore but I'd rather be with you Dead roses are still beautiful to me Dead letters with words that are no longer true Dead silence where your promise used to be You don't want me anymore but I'd rather be with you Dead roses are still beautiful to me Dead roses are still beautiful to me |
